I hope you enjoyed my book.
Those made up songs I made up when I was 6, 7, and 8.

I am a 17-year-old homeschooler, author, daydreamer, voracious reader, introvert, feminist, klutz, fangirl, and overuser of tape. I love the impossible (which might explain my obsessions with fantasy novels and Harry Potter) but I dip into the real world . . . occasionally. I tend to get overly emotional over my OTPs and eat sushi or listen to Taylor Swift to soothe the pain. If all else fails, reruns of “Doctor Who” or “Supernatural” is sure to help. I’m a big fan of mismatched socks, Cheez-Its, and bittersweet endings. I believe anything Rainbow Rowell, Felicia Day, or Lin-Manuel Miranda touches turns to gold. If you want to win the way to my heart, help me adopt a baby elephant. Or a llama. Or both. I write to survive and will often yell at my characters if they aren’t behaving, which is always. It doesn’t usually help. I am a contributor to the "Fauxpocalypse" anthology. You can follow me on Twitter at @Magic_Violinist.

Oh honey, I love, love, LOVE these lists!! I love the idea of trading bloomers! :P I think it's so neat that you enjoy researching this stuff so much and even take it further by writing this up and sharing it with others. Good for you! :)

wow! wow! I realy enjoyed this post. WOW! Kate you are the best and so bright. I can't wait to see you. It's almost saturday and I am so excited to be there to play with you and Maxim. I love your blogs.VAvó

Kate, I just realized there's no way you can even remember who I am. I knew you when you were a baby because your dad and my husband went to medical school together. Don't ask your mom too many questions about me--I'm kind of looney sometimes! Even if I'm a bit crazy, thanks for letting me read your blog anyway.

What FABULOUS ideas, Kate! I remember when I was about your age I got absolutely obsessed with finger knitting, to the point that I had sores on my hands! I can't wait to do some of these fun things with Emerson someday. I would definately buy your book!
